Excuses I use to use familiar nicknames for the Links in Links Assemble:
Link is a really really common name around Hyrule, because of some ancient famous people or something. Means courageous or heroic.
Wars- drill sergeant mispronounced his surname Warris that one time in boot camp and it stuck forever.
Sky- abbreviation from his surname Skylark. He tell this to everyone at introduction to avoid being inevitably called birdboy
Wind- that's actually his legit name and not a nickname. His full name is Wind Waker because why not. Had considered changing his name to Link to fit in better, to the horror of every Link involved (only Wars actually)
Time did make it I'm so sorry. He's fairy boy back in the war and fierce now. Because his surname is Feris and people can pronounce it with or without stressing the 'i'.
Legend- that's just his surname. Like Dr Strange.
Twilight- because he is the Wolf of Twilight, and because of the twili connections. Full name is Link Rider.
Hyrule- again, legitimately his name. Like America Chavez (the marvel character). Haven't decided if that's first name or last tho. Has a nickname Rulie.
Four- because he splits into four version of himself. Has another nickname Rain, because rainbow. Mini is a forbidden nickname he will kill you.
...
Which just leave Wild. I don't know what to do with his nickname, I have a few ideas but nothing solid. Which is odd considering he is the one that inspired this whole au.
Maybe his surname is Wilder, maybe he got it as a remark on his fighting style, maybe it's a random codename that got stuck. I honestly can't decide...
